As questions arose about U.S. Rep. Chris Gibson’s possible interest in a run for governor of New York Tuesday morning, fueled by a New York Times article suggesting he’s begun the groundwork, the congressman stuck to the matter that he’d traveled to Schoharie to speak about: urging the Federal Emergency Management Agency to fund the relocation of the Schoharie County Public Safety Building and jail destroyed in Tropical Storm Irene.

Schoharie town Supervisor Gene Milone announced Thursday that he will be seeking the Democratic nomination for a third term as supervisor this fall, contrary to rumors of his impending retirement from local politics.
